Season two will feature nine episodes, one more than the first. It will launch on Netflix at a date in 2017 which has yet to be announced.

In addition, two of season one’s recurring characters, Joe Keery’s Steve and Noah Schnapp’s Will Byers, have been upgraded to series regulars for season two.

“We’ll be doing more than just a rehash of season one,” the show’s executive producer Dan Cohen said recently. “We’re coming back with a few new characters, expanding storylines and mythologies, so it’ll feel like the stakes are raised and more is going on and really delivering on the promise and pushing for more.”
